Picture Perfect Cooking

Here’s another author/book recommendation for you.  I stumbled upon a blog earlier this year and really enjoyed the lady’s writing.  She was smart and funny.  Her bio listed her occupation as an author so I went to my local library to see if they were available.  They did have one and I checked it out immediately and really enjoyed it.  The name of the book is Between, Georgia and the author is Joshilyn Jackson. 

She is a Southern writer to the core.  Being from the deep South, she “knows” these characters personally.  It is a complex story of 3 generations of one family in a very small town called “Between, Georgia”.

I received her other 2 books for my birthday back in July and just finished reading them both.  Those are Gods In Alabama and The Girl Who Stopped Swimming.  Both were excellent, but I think my favorite is The Girl Who Stopped Swimming.  I can’t even begin to describe it, but it weaves family drama, mystery and almost a little horror into one story.  It was one of those books that I didn’t want to put down until it was finished.

If you are looking for something a little out of the ordinary, please check these out.  You won’t be disappointed!  Also, check out her website, www.joshilynjackson.com which contains her blog.
